some of the villains have sad pasts that made them choose the path of evil ..... Shadow Moon was no different ..... she talk different , her hair look different, her eyes look different, she mostly likes to walk like a human, she got the marks on her legs, and she look too cute for own age ...... for being different, she got bullied ..... till she finally snapped and became evil .... thats how she got her "cutie" mark; an empty heart with a demon tail

being alone and evil is better than being with people (or ponies) and get hurt over and over

you know, some say that your OC is represent your inner-self ..... I wonder how right it is

I know that pains of being bullied and attacked both mentally and physically. I can deeply relate to this.It only takes that one extra push, punch or insult to send the bully over the edge and become the very thing that they feared.

I even feel hurt when others are being mean to someone because of their skin! I am smart but I have a bad memory. I have been bullied before but I started being home-schooled after sixth grade. In 6th grade I lived in an apartment but one day a group of kids came to my building with a BB gun. They were hiding in the woods and wanted to hurt my friend but I came out first so they came after me. I have been bullied for a long time too. Are things going better for you?

..... I have learned that its not about have much you hit, its about how much you can take a hit in life and stand up on your feet again and again and never do something coward .... ^_^ and yes I'm doing better now

^__^ I was almost just like you, but the few nice people made smile again

eheh well it's a looooong way for that.... ^_^ thank you .... Yeah it's based on a cartoon call My Little Pony: Friendship is magic .... Making an OC pony is easy and fun to do, plus like all OCs you can put you personality and feeling in the character Frankly speaking I wasnt into this toon, but little by little I loved it .... The problem is with the insane fandom of the show that made me hate it and stop watching the toon for a whole year, but my OC is so dear to my heart that I brought her back to life

This piece would be perfect for a project we are developing -- an online gallery for artists who have been bullied or who explore the theme of bullying in their work. It's called the You Will Rise Project. Check it out here: [link] and let us know if you would be willing to share this piece on the site. Read the "Submit Your Work" section of the site for details. Thanks!

^__^ well those marks are called Power-Marks, she later discovers how to use them ==> [link]

I was talking about her accent (sorry about that), she has an Arabic accent

as for the hair,,, well have you seen any other pony with similar hair style and colors?

as for the eyes, just have a look at her eyes at this artwork and others in my gallery ===> [link]

other info about my OC===>

Name: Shadow Moon

Gender: female

Personality: Twisted, Lewd and powerful

Element of harmony: Pain

Hates: have deep hate for unicorn ponies (especially the princess who have the longest unicorn)

Likes: herself and anything she wants, causing pain to other ponies

Friends: only one, Applejack who saved her after Shadow Moon fell from a cliff, broke her leg and had a fever (thats how Shadow Moon got a little kinder and friendly)

famous quote: I'm maybe bad but I'm perfectly good

special abilities: the marks on her legs are called 'Power Marks' gives her massive power in kicks and,,errr,, "punches" ... her short tail makes it easier to kick .... she also have voices in hear head that always tries to tell her to do the right thing

I don't feel sorry for grown up and evil Shadow Moon, but these kind of circumstances are indeed very sad. And this piece has great atmosphere and perfectly captures her emotions Overall, awesome work:3

^__^ I actually was having a second thought to make this artwork cuz it has an emotional connection with it, but I eventualy did it (Whispers said it makes me feel better and it did), thank you very much

Well, people have very different view on characters of this kind. As for me, she's too psychotic to feel sympathy for her. Nevertheless, I always enjoy your art with her, since you handle MLP style so well.

It takes some courage to show the piece you poured feelings into and I think it's quite admirable that you're able to do it.
